Quem quer ser bilionário?

O título original é Slumdog Millionaire. Muito mais adequado que o título da tradução portuguesa. Estava muito curiosa de ver este filme de Danny Boyle e não fiquei desiludida: excelente realização, fotografia fantástica, boas interpretações, boa música. É uma fábula moderna, com violência e tragédia, mas que deixa viva a chama da esperança. Viva o Jamal! Mas isto digo sou eu que digo... Agora que já vi o filme, posso ver o que dizem os outros. Vejamos algumas críticas retiradas do Rotten Tomatoes:

"Exotic, but never condescendingly so, Slumdog Millionaire locates the lamplight of human desire, and proves that it burns all across the world, no matter circumstance, ethnicity or religion."
Brent Simon
Shared Darkness

"Slumdog Millionaire, a film so upbeat and colourful that, by the time you’re relaying its infectious air of optimism to friends, you could forget that it features orphans, slaughter, organised crime, poverty, enslavement and police brutality."
Dave Calhoun
Time Out

"Mumbai’s brand new skyscrapers sprout out of patches of mud; Jamal’s old-fashioned principles will forever be out of synch with the slick, nightclub world that his older brother Salim inhabits. And so it goes. The romance? Fear not. It’s fabulous icing."
James Christopher
Times [UK]

"Slumdog Millionaire is as acerbic as it is clear-eyed about the brutal power dynamics in modern-day Mumbai. But, at the same time, what makes it so warming and what has been inspiring audiences all across the world to cheer at its rousing ending."
Sukhdev Sandhu
Daily Telegraph

"Whoever thought that a movie that begins with torture would turn out to be an anthem to friendship and joy?"
Linda Cook
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)

"At turns wonderfully entertaining, powerfully heartfelt and downright chilling as it delivers its message: Pay attention, life will tell you all you need to know."
Michael Smith
Tulsa World

Life will tell you all you need to know. Gostei particularmente desta. Vão ver o filme. Não se arrependerão.
